Very nice looking interface, excellent software, easy to use, everything seems amazing! Love IObit softwares, so far none of them ever failed or impacted bad on my system, just made it run faster and more secure! from me!!

Comment

First off, before I get to those, I'd like to express my thanks and gratitude to the devs of all Iobit products. I've been following and using most of your products since their inception, and have had little or no problems at all.

Nowthen, the 2 things that are my main concerns:

1) With almost ALL of the devs I do beta testing for, I get a 1 year license for the product that I'm testing. This license is bound to 1 computer/user and can't be uploaded or used by anyone else.
Getting something for my help seems deserved - it's ME that's putting my systems at risk with undeveloped software so that the end product can be everything it's supposed to be.
So with that, is there going to be any compensation to us Beta Testers and loyal customers for testing this product? It would benefit everyone involved if you could give away a few licenses for our troubles.

2) This product MUST be ported to a PORTABLE APP. Even if this is 360's replacement, it's not going to do any Computer Techs any good if they try to use this on a machine that won't boot into Windows.
I can make any program portable, but it's not my place, especially considering I don't even have a license for it. But consider this: IF this program is meant to go up against MBAM, SAS and others like it, it absolutely MUST have a portable version that can be used from within a PE environment or via command-line even from the XP/Vista/7 Recovery Disk(s).

As for the program itself, I like the new GUI, it's very easy to follow, easy to set up, I like the idea of a cloud to double-check, and the DOG is very functional. I just put it through it's paces in a VM in which I transferred several known infections - and IMF did it's job wonderfully.
Updates and Scans need a way to schedule independently of program startup/manual scans, but if the overall theme here is "NON-Active Scanner", then at least let us have scheduled updates that we can configure ourselves.

So far, nothing negative to report - no false positives as of yet, nothing else is broken, and everything is working as it's supposed to be.

Again, thank you for the opportunity to try out yet another new product. But, I still say that a few of us Beta Testers should get a 1 year license for free for our troubles...
